I have an unvaccinated child.
What will I do if a vaccine for Coronavirus becomes available?
The age as for any other vaccine.
Agonise over what to do.
Try to talk to someone who understands why I’m in this position, and who will give me proper full facts, so I can weigh up options. And who will talk through what the ramifications will be for my child, both if they have the vaccine and if they don’t.
And then, as always, I will face Hobson’s choice.
Because there isn’t a right answer.
Because life isn’t as simple and black and white as many like to make out.
And I will smile and nod while many ignorant people around me gleefully chuckle about the dilemma that anti-vaxxers must be facing, and while they crow about how much better they are purely because they get to lead that simple life. Because I’m not an arsehole.
